A culture of carelessness? (Lynch, 2010)
- transgressive to talk about kindness in academia
- a denuded notion of the academic role with the caring
stripped away: the resulting carelessness is harmful for us all
- far from being soft and fluffy, caring is often hard work
and intellectually challenging
- need to break down the dualism between affect and
rationality
- the idea of an impersonal university is profoundly
irrational (Clegg, 2010)

Kindness…. …cannot be regulated or prescribed …is subversive (Clegg and Rowland, 2010)
